Share, It's a big boat. There's plenty of room for everyone.

If one person changes position or leaves the boat, or if someone new arrives, everybody has to shift a bit to help maintain the balance of the boat. Ahoy mateys!

Alex doesn't want to deal with the post limit and I can't blame him. This is supposed to be a forum for adults not teenagers. Salvy is right, the graffiti trolls are just trying to ruin FFL because they hate the place. On 08/30/2014 12:11 PM, emilymaenot@... mailto:emilymaenot@...

I like the idea of posting limits for this forum and always did, but, of course, certainly wouldn't want to be hall monitor myself. So, to the degree that I check in here, I choose to live with the consequences of "forum freedom." ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <noozguru@...> mailto:noozguru@... wrote : Posting limits are stupid but moderation is not. The trolls would have been booted long ago if someone weren't afraid to moderate just a little bit. Most other group moderators do this. Rick even suggested that Richard needs a hobby. Best policy currently is to ignore the trolls and especially don't reply to them. Then they'll return to the bridges they live under. On 08/30/2014 10:38 AM, dmevans365@... mailto:dmevans365@...

Almost immediately, Richard and Share ushered the forum into its evolution as a chat room - characterized as all are by a preponderence of meaningless drivel. Gone are the limits telling the brain to put some thought into a post, put some thought into topics, put some thought into with who and in what format one wanted to converse. Limits that forced a pause in the action. Quite the statement this forum is, really. ---In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com mailto:FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, <punditster@...> mailto:punditster@... wrote : On 8/30/2014 6:51 AM, anartaxius@... mailto:anartaxius@...

I thought my replies to Bill were right on topic, compared to the comments posted by the other informants. YMMV. Go figure. Subject: Awake: The Life Of Yogananda Author: Richard J.
